Choir Participation and Community Wellbeing: A Social Identity Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-03)Research about choir and community wellbeing shows that there is a positive association between the two constructs. In addition, the positive association between choir participation and community wellbeing seems to be ... -
Choosing what to read out loud while studying: The role of agency in production
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-20)Both the acts of reading aloud (the production effect) and of making a choice are known to be beneficial for memory, however these benefits are yet to be established outside of typical laboratory settings. In this dissertation, ... -
Chosen Ciphertext Security from Zero Knowledge Proofs
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-24)When designing encryption schemes, there are different levels of security that one can achieve. Of the two main security levels, cryptographers generally strive for the stronger notion of chosen ciphertext attack (CCA) ... -
Christopher Nolan and the Art of Anamorphosis
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-20)This dissertation explores the cinema of Christopher Nolan over a 15-year period. It focuses on the portrayal of the subject in five of his major films: Memento (2000), The Prestige (2006), The Dark Knight (2008), Inception ... -
Chronic bioaccumulation and toxicity of cadmium from a periphyton diet to Hyalella azteca
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-18)Dietary cadmium (Cd) can contribute significantly to chronic bioaccumulation and toxicity in aquatic organisms. This contribution needs to be quantified so that the relative importance of waterborne and dietary cadmium ... -
Chronic Nickel and Copper Toxicity in the Hyalella azteca Cryptic Species Complex
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-26)The amphipod crustacean Hyalella azteca was thought to be a single species, but recent molecular studies have indicated that it is a large cryptic species complex. Previous work has indicated that the H. azteca complex ... -
The Churches of Pelion: Vessels of Faith, Tradition, & Cultural Endurance in Post-Byzantine Greece
(University of Waterloo, 2022-06-01)This research presents a regional, historical, and architectural study of the ecclesiastic landscape of Mount Pelion – a vast, rugged mountain range in Thessaly, Greece. Specifically, it explores the physical and metaphysical ... -
Cigarette Access Behaviours among Underage Canadian Youth Smokers
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-24)Objective: The main objective was to examine characteristics associated with cigarette access behaviours among underage current youth smokers. Methods: This cross-sectional study used self-reported data collected from ... -
Circle Graph Obstructions
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-31)In this thesis we present a self-contained proof of Bouchet’s characterization of the class of circle graphs. The proof uses signed graphs and is analogous to Gerards’ graphic proof of Tutte’s excluded-minor characterization ... -
Circuit Complexity of Mixed States
(University of Waterloo, 2021-07-20)Quantum information has produced fresh insights into foundational questions about the AdS/CFT correspondence. One fascinating concept, which has captured increasing attention, is quantum circuit complexity. As a natural ... -
Circuit Design of SRAM Physically Unclonable Functions
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-06)A Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) is an entity that reliably provides a unique response to a given challenge and cannot be easily duplicated physically. PUFs are an alternative to using non-volatile memory (NVM) for ... -
Circuit Model Parameter Extraction and Optimization for Microwave Filters
(University of Waterloo, 2002)This thesis presents a method for parameter extraction of circuit elements from microwave filters. This diagnosis method can be applied to a sufficiently large number of filters and it can also be used in conjunction ... -
Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics with Flux Qubits
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)This thesis presents circuit quantum electrodynamic (cQED) experiments done with artificial atoms coupled to a high quality factor superconducting microwave resonator. This work discusses the theoretical framework, design, ... -
Circuit-Theoretic Physics-Based Antenna Synthesis and Design Techniques for Next-Generation Wireless Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-12)Performance levels expected from future-generation wireless networks and sensor systems are beyond the capabilities of current radio technologies. To realize information capacities much higher than those achievable through ... -
Citizen Engagement and the Governance of Sustainable Communities
(University of Waterloo, 2011-01-10)This study develops an interdisciplinary exploratory approach for understanding concepts and tools for local participation that leads towards sustainability. The research goals include : identifying effective public ... -
Citizen participation in post-disaster flood hazard mitigation planning: Exploring strategic choices in Peterborough, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2008-06-20)This thesis explores the role of citizen participation in a post-disaster flood hazard mitigation planning program in Peterborough, Ontario. Recognizing that citizen participation is an integral element of hazards mitigation ... -
Citizens' Attitudes to Re-Establish a Permanent Water Flow for the Colorado River Delta, North Western Mexico
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-28)Ecosystem services and goods are non-market values that are increasingly being accounted through contingent valuation methods and more specifically by studying people’s willingness-to-pay for them. Large ecosystem restoration ... -
